However, Ling Ruo did not follow Yinzhen in. Instead, she stopped one step away from the palace gate. Looking at Yinzhen's surprised look, she smiled and said, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, this is the Qing Dynasty?" Concubines are not allowed to enter the door." After saying that, she was about to go to the side door. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen held her hand tightly and refused to let go. She turned around in surprise and saw Yinzhen looking at her with a deep look in his eyes. He said word by word: "Tonight, I want to walk in with you, right here."
Ling Ruo knew very well what it meant to walk in from the main entrance. Apart from the emperor, the only queen in the harem could leave once during her wedding. However, the current queen, because she was married to Yinzhen when she was her elder brother, did not. Passing through the Great Qing Gate also means that among all the concubines of Yinzhen, no one has ever enjoyed the honor of entering through the Great Clear Gate.
Now, Yinzhen wants her to come in from the Qing Dynasty Gate together. This is an unprecedented favor and exception, which is enough to prove Ling Ruo's status in Yinzhen's heart.
Feeling the warmth and firmness on her fingertips, Ling Ruo's eyes were deeply moved, but after the move, she shook her head and said: "I am only a concubine, and I am not qualified to enter this Qing family."
If she entered through the Great Qing Gate tonight, it would definitely cause an uproar in the harem. She would not be so naive as to think that because there were so few people here, the news would not reach the ears of the masters. The palace was always the most unfavorable place. Without eyes and ears. When the time comes, those people will take the opportunity to cause trouble again.
"I said you are qualified, you are qualified." Not only did Yinzhen not let go, but he tightened his grip a little tighter. The feeling of finding something lost made him cherish Ling Ruo when he was by his side. Although she was not his queen, she was still his. Someone whom I cherish very much.
Seeing that Ling Ruo still wanted to refuse, Yinzhen said in an unquestionable tone: "Follow me in."
Ling Ruo looked at him for a long time, and finally turned into a helpless smile. It was really not easy to make Yinzhen change his mind, so just let him go. He would return to the palace as a punishment for his crime. It's enough to attract people's attention, and I don't care about one more thing.
Sixi and others who were kneeling on the ground were already trembling with excitement when they heard Yinzhen's words. The Great Qing Gate, where no concubines had ever passed through during the Yongzheng Dynasty, was finally going to make an exception tonight.
"Quick, go and light all the palace lanterns and welcome the Emperor and Concubine Xi back to the palace." Although Sixi was excited, she still remembered something and urged Xiao Lizi and the others to light the lanterns quickly.
"Cha!" Xiao Lizi agreed, and quickly led the people to run. After a while, silk-red soft lights lit up one after another like running water, starting from the Great Qing Gate and shining into the depths of the harem, like an endless sea of stars. Endless.
Every palace lantern was so bright and dazzling that it eclipsed the stars in the sky. At the same time, after lighting the lanterns, Xiao Lizi and others knelt on both sides and kowtowed together: "Minions welcome the Emperor and the Emperor. Concubine Xi has returned to the palace. Long live the Emperor! Long live Concubine Xi!"
Their voices were particularly loud in this quiet night. They lingered for a long time over the Forbidden City, which was full of palaces. It startled the crows perched on the top of the palace and fluttered their wings to hover in the air.
In the midst of this series of mountain calls, Ling Ruo took a deep breath, stepped through the Great Qing Gate with Yinzhen, and officially returned to the palace. From now on, she was no longer a woman named Ling outside the palace, but a woman named Ling outside the palace. It was Niu Hulu Lingruo, the concubine of Emperor Yongzheng in the Forbidden City!
Si Xi knelt behind, feeling excited and sentimental at the same time. Others may not know how well the Emperor treated Concubine Xi, but he, the personal eunuch, could see it one by one. I still remember that when we were in Wutai Mountain, the Emperor thought of Concubine Xi.
The empress had mentioned the flower of the other side before, so she worked tirelessly to search for this kind of flower that might not even exist in the world. Fortunately, she finally brought Concubine Xi back, otherwise the emperor would definitely be sad.
After Si Xi wiped away the tears that accidentally flowed out of her eyes, she stood up and prepared to enter the palace from Yemen with Liu Hu and the others. However, she saw a thin figure poking his head and preparing to follow them. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was the little boy who came back with them.
The beggar was so frightened that he quickly grabbed him, "Where do you want to go?"
The little beggar looked at him as if he were an idiot and said confidently: "Of course I went in with them. Where else could I go? The queen promised to take me in before." At this point, he clicked his tongue again.
Fan said: "Speaking of which, I even doubted whether I was dreaming. One of them is the emperor and the other is the empress. It's incredible. But I pinched myself hard just now. It hurt. It shouldn't be a dream."
Looking at those sparkling eyes, Sixi laughed angrily, pointed at the magnificent palace and said: "Since you know this is the imperial palace, how dare you go in like this? Let me tell you, this is the Great Qing Gate, and only the emperor can
To get in, you, at most, can only go through the door at the far side."
"Yemen?" This was the first time the little beggar heard this word. He scratched his head and obviously didn't understand it, but it didn't matter, as long as he could get in. Just when he was about to follow Liu Hu and the others to Yemen, he held a hand
Si Xi stood in front of him again, but now he said a little unhappily: "Eunuch Xi, is there anything else you can do?"
Si Xi looked the little beggar up and down, and said with some glee: "Aren't you planning to enter the palace just like this? We tell you that apart from the emperor, there are only two kinds of people who can enter the palace: one is
Women, one is with our family
Such a eunuch. Although you are a little thinner, you are still a man. Do you want to be like our family and get a knife to purify yourself and enter the palace?" Before the little beggar could say anything, he threw a bag of silver from his sleeve and said
: "Come on, even if you want to enter
Palace, the empress will not agree to it. She has already told our family to let you leave when you arrive at the gate of the palace. Well, the money is enough for you to start a small business. It is also a fate of getting to know each other. You can take care of yourself in the future.
."explain
At this point, he seemed to be feeling a little emotional. He glanced at him and said, "Boy, you are lucky to be able to stay clean. At that time, our family didn't even have a choice. The family brought them in and collected the money. Then what happened to the knife?"
Can't escape."
Thinking of the old things from more than ten years ago, Si Xi couldn't help but sigh, and then shook his head and said with some self-deprecation: "Our family is very polite to tell you what to do with these things, but you are confused. Come on, just take the money and leave quickly.
Stop blocking it here."
The little beggar glanced at the heavy bag of silver on the ground with a fiery look. He swallowed hard and resisted the urge to pick it up. He quickly caught up with Sixi who was heading to Yemen, "Wait a minute, wait a minute.
"
Si Xi looked at the little beggar blocking the road with some displeasure, "What's the matter, do you really want to go in and get stabbed?" The emperor had been in for a while, but his personal eunuch kept wandering outside the palace and refused to go in to serve him.
What's going on?
"You said besides eunuchs, there are other women who can enter the palace?" The little beggar stared at Sixi with a sly look, his eyes looking particularly bright at this moment.
